Beautiful, Kris.  I hope to track some of these down one of these years.  They look great.

Thanks Paul . You can have a piece of mine when they go dormant (rootstock) but I think is not possible to sent it to your country ?

Thank you for the offer, Kris, but as you say it isn't possible with our quarantine.  I appreciate the thought though.  :D

Kris,
Very interesting to see this species outside. I once cultivated it with the shelter of a greenhouse
and received very etioleted plants.
Did your plant survive more than the recent winter and are flowers expected outside?

It is the second year (winter )outside Gerd and previous winter was much colder. Yes it flowers outside but not with so much flowers as in my greenhouse .

Spring , perfect spring! I do feel sorry for those who do not know  how beautiful a garden can be so early in the year using bulbs and corms.

I do agree, Maggi!

Franz, that is perfect!
Seems you have a lot of sun, or did you take the pictures the day the sun was shining?

I have also a lot of bulbs in my lawn but much gray weather and rain make it difficult to enjoy the display.

These are from the other day when we had a few hours with sun between the showers.

Maggi, you are right. Bulbs and corms are simply great and excellent for eyes
and soul after wintertime. I am not quite sure, but think, that springtime is
extremely early this year.
Had a closer look at the Galanthus today and found these unusual forms among
the normal ones.
